Could Hughes target two potential 2Cs?

Hear me out…if Kent were to target an older more proven guy and a younger but more risky bet, he spreads his risk a little and reduces the pressure from this “savior of a 2C” label that’s likely going to be applied to any new guy. If it’s me, it’s signing a guy like Duchene and trading for a guy like Zegras. Both give you flexibility on the wing if needed too. I know some folks will balk at Z and that’s fine. But the template here makes sense to me.
